According to Russian media, the Russian Su-57 has been armed with a new hypersonic missile similar to the Zircon. Previously, the Zircon had not been used from fighter jets - it was only launched from ships or ground-based platforms. united24media.com/latest-news/...
SU-57 is a crap aircraft.
Is it going to be hanging at the external hardpoints? Not very stealthy, if so.
So the west has F-22 and F-35 in service in volume and are working on the next gen. When is the Su-57 going to actually make it into service and will there be more than 2?
Yes, when it crashes there will be 100s…parts.
Breaking: non-operational Russian stealth fighter to be armed with non-functioning Russian missile
According to Russian media…
Just wait until they are armed with Oreshniks and Burevestniks.
Makes your shitty somewhat “stealthy” jet more prone to be shot down. Sounds o.k. to me.
I'll believe it when I see it. Russia, where they talk a good game.
Great, now let’s wait for it to actually fly
Heh. So all three of their operational Su-57s will have this super-undefeatable hypersonic missile? Bring it on.
Its longer than the internal bay, this is just PR, could hang it under a bomber.
Zircon is for sea targets with crappy precision. I don’t get it
In a war you fight with the weapons you have, not the ones you want.
Need to delete them before take off!
